“Organisations do not succeed
purely on the technical knowledge
of their people. Effective leadership
and clear strategic ambitions are
essential. Professionals need to
put as much energy into equipping
themselves with leadership and
management tools, as keeping
their technical skills up to date.”

“The development of the new Moorfields Eye Hospital is
literally a once in a life time project and because of this,
it was imperative to think in terms of whole life assets and
to plan across the whole timeline. This involved developing
a 60 year financial model to demonstrate affordability,
predicated upon activity and throughput, space requirements,
cashflows, operational risk rating and programme.
Experience shows us that over a 30 year time horizon,
a Design-Build-Operate spend is 10% capital and 90%
operational spend. It is therefore essential that a holistic
approach is taken to planning and executing this project and
the key to successful delivery is learning lessons from others.
The RICS International Certificate in Leadership for Real Estate
Development is the first course to advocate a holistic approach
to real estate development and will help stakeholders to
develop the necessary knowledge and skills to make such
projects a success.”
Tim Fry
Project Director at Moorfields Eye Hospital
